They are intriguing

I’m not normally into tweaking the technology for the weblog, but I’m getting pulled into the lure of MT-macros, primarily through Mark Pilgrim’s infectious enthusiasm.

I rather like that acronym macro. And while I’m at it, I should incorporate better search. And I should think about converting to pure CSS and getting rid of my HTML tables. And since I’m in the neighborhood…

Whoa! Time out! RDF book to finish. ThreadNeedle to finish.

Must…not….blog. Must….not….play with blogging tools. Must….not….tweak site again. Must….not….

update Mark, did you mean <$MTEntryBody$>?

Just for fun

Gary’s one of my favorite weblogging folks–the sweetest guy in the block. So when my bud says we should provide a show of support for Davezilla, why, I jumped.

David (and Gary), this parody’s for you.

(Now, David, do you think I can get my weblog removed from http://www.davezilla.com/fucked/?)

Update Good material from Denise on the Godzilla vs. Davezilla cease and desist here and here.

Sudsy stuff

Good Evening. Spotted Woman, here.

What is it with men and their toys to do housework? Now Eric has joined the Sudsy Men of Weblogging (look for the calendar, soon, at supermarkets everywhere) and posted a photograph of his favorite washing utensil–no, not another Dishmatique. At least, I don’t think it’s a Dishmatique. How can I tell? All of these dishwashing toys look alike.

Wanna know what I use for dishes? A dishwasher.

Eric did point to a new toy I would like to have — a Toshiba PDR-3300. I like my Nikon, but would really like to have more pixels under my belt. But instead of the Toshiba, I’ll take the Cannon EOS 1D.

(The Dishmatique link goes to a Google lookup on ‘Dishmatique’. I got a chuckle when I saw how much we’ve screwed around with the listings for this poor little product. Think we’ll get sued like Davezilla?)

Nuff war

Enough war stuff. The topic is important and there’s a whole lot of stuff going on in the country that deserves discussion, but we also want to have fun. We need to have fun.

For instance, I’m extremely curious as to see what Dorothea’s cookin up for the new weblog home. I have a bit of an idea (no telling though), but I am really looking forward to seeing the end result. And not just cuz Dorothea thinks I’m a cool person.

I’ve been reading quite a bit more recently, but haven’t been overjoyed with all the books I’ve checked out from the library. I love “Let us Now Praise Famous Men” for the rich imagery, but the others have been less than interesting. I’ll post the titles when I’m finished. (I usually read multiple books at once, trading off every night. I’m weird that way.)

It would be nice if all of the webloggers in my neighborhood listed their favorite books (favorites, not only the ones they talk about in public), so I could look for recommendations.

Hint. Hint.

Well, our effort paid off in that RageBoy has posted, meeting our demands for body parts and words.

You dipped your toe in Chris, but don’t run away. We would prefer your own words, and are hoping you’ll return…soon. You. Your words.
